Boy freaks out after finding out he’s getting a third sister

Six-year-old Gunner Mertlich really wanted a baby brother.

So when his parents filmed his reaction after cutting into a white gender-reveal cake — it was pink inside — they probably anticipated some disappointment, but what they got was a total meltdown.

Queen Creek, Arizona parents Tiffany and Jason Mertlich gathered their three children — Gunner and his sisters Paisley and Harper — around the kitchen table to find out their new sibling's gender.

When the news sunk in, Gunner burst into tears, yelling about how there are too many girls in his family and how he wants to move out on his own.

His father's calm empathy — Jason admits to his son that he too was hoping for a boy — does little to change his mind.

"I want to leave this house and never come back!" he screams.

Expectant mom Tiffany tells KTAR that her son did eventually calm down and eat some of the cake he vowed not to touch.

Tiffany and Jason originally posted the video on Facebook to share the gender news with family and friends, but after a strong response, they also posted "Baby reveal gone wrong!" on YouTube where it is now going viral.

"We didn't expect it to take off like it has," Tiffany says. "We just thought our friends and family would enjoy it and have a good laugh."

And, yes, they plan on showing the video to Gunner and his new sister in a few years.

"He's just so funny, every time I watch it I laugh," Tiffany adds.
